Also, over the years i've learnt that you should mix and match! Experiment with differetn distros. Dont put any critical work on your install.
U can put critical stuff subject to some discpline. Use a seperate disk / at least a seperate directory for critical data. Whenever u want to freak out with some experiment unmount your critical disk / partition. If it's a disk disconnect from the system. Learnt the above the hard way while messing around recovering crashed (sigh) windows 98 back in 99.
Try a few flavors of Linux and see which suits to the best. I did that and finally settled with Redhat. Now i'm hooked into Fedora 24x7 :)
However avoid Novell-Suse like the plague (at least get rid of it within 180 days if u must taste forbidden fruit). Reason - you are in a legal limbo with that distro.
